What the f*ck are you on? False narrative? It is exactly because these numbers are so high that this discussion is worth having. All I have is my data. What is it about EV companies with collapsing stock prices which makes everyone a paranoid schizophrenic? What a disgusting troll comment you...

When did you first book the appointment? My service center is still booking three or four months out. Are you sure it's not missing a digit, or was rescheduled? Here's my complete service history, with approximate dates and appointment numbers, across three Rivians: 12/22 #146,000 04/23...

Hard disagree. CCDs and lenses are commodity products. You can buy them in infinite quantities with infinite specs. There is no negotiation on these parts, there is just picking one out of a hundred page catalog.

Gary is pretty useless. He has missed a lot of incidents on my rigs.

What I don’t like about this feature is that it has preempted the implementation of “side mirrors which point down in reverse”, which is, in my view, much more useful and sorely needed.

About a month and a half ago I scheduled service. My appointment number was approximately 700,000. I scheduled another one today (new metallic whirring sound from wheels) and was assigned number 815,000 (roughly). That’s a lot of appointments for not that many cars.

I'm sorry this happened to you, OP. I've had three Rivians and all three have had issues of some kind or another, though none as severe as yours. It's my belief that most early Rivian adopters are strongly biased and willfully or subconsciously ignore most issues. It is also my belief that...

I didn't read the OP as saying, "I'm so angry this car is not perfect." You are putting words into their mouth that they did not say. And their problems are far from minor imperfections. Rivian has been making these cars for three years and debuted them in 2018, six years ago. If Rivian had an...

This is a pretty low number, to be honest. I expect Amazon is actively exploring alternatives to Rivian. At the very least they’re waiting for them to become cheaper.

It’s super common, in my experience, for EVs to take nails. I’ve probably taken a dozen or more in over 12 years of exclusive EV ownership. Others have doubled my generalization, but they just don’t have the data, and I do. Many of these were picked up far from home. It’s some combination of the...

Obligatory note: satisfaction != reliability. It can also be a proxy for niche or a marker for early adopters. Given that Rivian was the only seven seat “real” electric SUV out there until recently, and has only two models, I can understand why satisfaction is so high.

Does this mount screw up surround view like the factory one does? It sounds like it does.

I would encourage everyone who misses CarPlay to just buy and mount a secondary CarPlay screen (like Carpodgo) and liberate yourself from Rivian’s proprietary system, which seeks to lock you in, charge you money, is a hassle, and just plain sucks. So many bugs. Life is too short to not have all...

Next generation CarPlay with advanced AI, 6G and hardware compositors are growing to blow Rivian away. It’s going to be a stunning experience and it will make Rivian look like a joke.

“Only Rivian is allowed to copy Tesla.”

RJ’s Ph.D is in internal combustion engines. A visionary he is not. Rivian by and large copies Tesla. I wouldn’t say his words have much weight here. Rivian software is terrible.

Well, Rivian (and Tesla) sells their pollution credits to competitors in order to stall their EV programs, so this is not surprising. This Rivian policy is significantly retarding the world’s transition to EVs. It’s sad because this practice allows more polluting cars to be sold, which...

Me too. I went with Carpodgo on both my Rivians to get the 60 FPS screen and couldn’t be more pleased. Rivian nav. still sucks and the rest of the software stack also has issues (Tidal and Bluetooth streaming especially). Voice control is also abysmal sans CarPlay. Rivian wants to boil the...

My R1T has squeaky dampers and service told me they were “within spec.” This (the shaft) is what you get when the manufacturer has a monopoly on the service of your car.

If you upgrade to Gen 2, do you lose your place in line for the NACS adapter? I think so.
